ANGELES CITY, PAMPANGA
GINOONG FILIPINAS
1992
Ralph Schwein is a
Fil-Am boy from Pampanga. He was a computer science student, a model and a
reluctant actor at the time when he joined Ginoong Filipinas. His victory was
one of the most controversial victories in the 24 years of Ginoong Filipinas.
One of the favorites to win the title did not even make it to the top 10, and
so when he was announced the winner, there was walk-out scenario from
sour-graping groups. Ralph became busy with his showbiz career and when the
call to compete abroad came, he opted
not to join Mr. Asia-Pacific contest in Los Angeles
that year.
